Spaces brought
to life.
Explore a few gardens I’ve worked on, from English rose-inspired planting and hardscaping to flowers chosen with pollinators in mind.
PLANTING & HARDSCAPING
An English rose-inspired retreat.
Soft pink roses, layered planting and a courtyard setting bring the romance of an English rose garden home. I installed the garden and hardscaping, bringing the planting and stonework together into one inviting outdoor space.
A GARDEN WITH ECOLOGICAL PURPOSE
Planted for bees & butterflies.
This garden was planted with the aim of attracting bees and butterflies, pairing colorful flowers with a purpose beyond their good looks. Nectar and pollen provide food for visiting pollinators; as they move between blooms, they help plants reproduce. Thoughtful planting can make a backyard part of a richer, more connected local ecosystem.
SEASONAL PLANTERS
Your containers don’t have to take the winter off.
I create seasonal planters that keep your home welcoming as the seasons change. In winter, fresh-cut greens bring color, texture and natural beauty to containers on your porch, front steps or patio.
Layered evergreens, branches and seasonal accents create winter interest long after the flowers have faded—whether you love a festive holiday display or a simple, natural look.

A good garden starts with a conversation—and a closer look at what’s already growing.
I’m based in Ridgewood, helping homeowners across Bergen County make more of their outdoor spaces. From choosing perennials to planting and ongoing care, I bring a hands-on approach to every garden.
We’ll talk about how you use your space, what you love, and how much upkeep feels right. Then we’ll find a direction that works for you and your garden.

THOUGHTFULLY SOURCED
Quality plants. The right sources.
I have access to quality greenhouses and nurseries, helping me source plants for your garden and seasonal containers. That means more options for finding the right mix of color, texture and plants suited to your space.
From the greenhouse to your garden, I bring the same care to choosing plants as I do to planting them.
